[Verse 1: Buck Owens]
A little boy with tear dimmed eyes
With trembling lips he could not hide
Too young to understand why daddy said goodbye
For Christmas time is almost here
And daddy won't be home this year
The little boy looked up at mommy and he cried

[Chorus: Buck Owens & Susan Raye]
All I want for Christmas is my daddy
To help me decorate the Christmas tree
Tell old Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve

[Verse 2: Susan Raye]
Yes I said if he'd be good
And say his prayers the way he should
Maybe God would help bring daddy back to us
For it won't seem like Christmas day
With his daddy far away
'Cause we miss him so and love him oh so much
And he said

[Chorus: Buck Owens & Susan Raye]
All I want for Christmas is my daddy
To help me decorate the Christmas tree
Tell old Santa Claus forget about those presents
But don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
No, don't forget to bring my daddy Christmas Eve
